Sorry, Doug, which fins? Do you mean the deals inside the rim?

I don't see any fins in these shots, just an original Mind-Train '70s Luggage Rack....

The gussets. They are not showing in that picture.



I suppose that in this case "form follows function"?

They would seem to be engineering "over kill" TO ME but that wheel initially might just have been intended for racing, al la Grp3?

If you look at the detail of the rim between the gussets, the casting is very rough as though the mold was never really detailed there.

The first batch seems to have been a small, probably minimal run of production.



All the Bob Grossman, Nyack, NY, sold cars I saw in the mid '70s here, I saw about six or so, seemed to be all such equipped which is interesting in that my parts guy, a L-M Pantera dealer, couldn't find a part number in the FORD parts system.

I guess that meant that Grossman was buying from DT directly?
